OK, a painting is an expression of the artist and he sold it to get something to eat. What if the painting is poor just like avdven told but is still sold at an outrageous price (much after the author died even though he got to buy that food ;))? I think that's quite stupid, yes. If some museum just handed out an expensive (bought in with ~100.000 e) but not very beautiful painting with 19,95 euros I wonder if collectors still wanted to have that to their vaults.

i dunno about u people but most contemporary artists these days here in Australia uses DNA markings.. they lace their painting with some cheek cells in a certain spot (which happens to be classified) of the painting.. and auction houses can determine if its really original by scanning the painting for DNA and see if the DNA matches with the painter..

I was not aware of artist using DNA to mark their paintings. I find that to be quite interesting.. Thanx for sharing Sonic. Does anyone know of this going on in the US?
